FRANK PULASKI, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

SCARF-PIN'.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK PULASKI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scarf-Pins; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an improvement in scarf pins.

The principal object of this invention is to provide a scarf pin having a novel means for easily and quickly setting a stone by an inexperienced person.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved scarf pin of the character described in which a novel form of locking means is employed for detachably locking the gem or stone, whereby various stones may be readily interchanged without the necessity of employing a jeweler for the purpose.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a gem setting of the character described, which is composed of a minimum number of parts, is therefore simple in construction, and is cheap to manufacture.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changes in the form, PI'OPOl'tlOll, size and minor details of construction within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stick pin constructed in accordance with my invention, Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof, Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same, Fig. 4 is a side elevation showing a modified form ofmy invention, Fig. 5 is a rear elevation thereof, and Fig. 6 is a plan view of the clamping ring.

Like reference numerals designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing.

Referring to the drawing, 5 designates a substantially U -shaped clamping member formed of flat spring metal including a Specification of Letters Patent.

bight 6 and spaced diverging legs 7-7. The outer ends of the legs 7 are split longitudinally to form upper and lower clamping arms 88 and 99 respectively. Each pair of arms 8 and 9 project outwardly and laterally of the main portion of the member 5. The extreme ends of the arms 8 and 9 are bent forwardly to form prongs 10 adapted to collectively engage a stone 10 as will be readily understood. Formed in the outer face of each leg 7 intermediate the arms and the bight 6 is a series of transverse grooves 11, the respective grooves of the respective series being arranged directly opposite each other.

My invention further comprises a scarf pin 12 formed of any suitable metal having the usual point 13. The upper end of the pin is bent to form an angular clamping ring 13 adapted to receive the element 5 in such a manner that the opposed arms 14l14: thereof will be engaged within a respective pair of opposed grooves 11. It will be ob served that as the clamping ring 13 is formed along the legs 7, the said legs will be forced toward each other, and thereby cause the prongs 10 of the arms to tightly grip a stone.

In the modified form of my invention, as illustrated in Figs. 1 to- 6 of the drawing, the clamping element 5 is of the same construction and therefore the same description and reference characters will apply. In this form, however, the pin 12 is formed integral with and depends from the bight 6 of said element. A clamping ring 13 is formed from a single length of metal, and is bent to receive the element. 5, the ends 15-15 of said ring 13 being spaced apart to permit of the said ring being readily passed beyond the pin 12*.

From the foregoing, it will be observed that by the above described construction, an inexperienced person may readily attach or detach a stone from the setting without the necessity of employing a jeweler for that purpose. It will also be observed that the pin will be sufficiently disposed in spaced relation to the arms 9 to receive the scarf therebetween.

What is claimed is:

1. In a scarf pin, the combination with a U-shaped clamping member formed from a single length of flat spring metal, said member including normally diverging legs respectively having their outer end portions split longitudinally and bent outwardly to form stonegripping arms, the inner portions of said legs being formed with a series of transverse grooves, and a clamping ring engageable with the grooves of the legs to lock the same against sliding.

2. In a scarf pin, a U-shaped clamping member including normally diverging spring legs, and stone-gripping arms respectively extending from the ends of said legs; in Combination with a stick pin having one end bent to form an angular clamping ring adapted to engage the legs of the member to look said gripping elements thereby clamping or gripping a gem.

In testimony whereof, I ailiX my signature, in presence of tWo Witnesses.

FRANK PULASKI.
